Hi!
Well, I am suddenly expecting company! Derek's mom called early this morning to announce that all five Rennies (parents + 3 siblings) are coming over tomorrow morning. We will be seven in all in a very small apartment.
I got lots of exercise today cleaning the house! It's nice to see it clean. I also bought food for the guests who might not want to adhere to my gluten-free, sugar-free regimen. I also made cookies but I didn't eat one... although I might have had a tiny bit of the dough. I expect they will be gone by the end of the day and, if not, I will give them to the Rennies to keep.
I also cut my hair! I was stressing about needing to clean the whole house in one day, let alone entertaining for the weekend. I had to go to Target to get Windex anyways, so I got my bangs cut and my hair re-dyed to it's natural color. (I did dye it my natural color in November, but it seemed to be fading). I feel pretty and happy!
Still got to work on that self control... at some point I know I should be able to make cookies but NOT have any of the dough. Aunts: do you still make cookies when you are a guest?
I also think tomorrow with all seven of us might be a "special occasion"... not sure... I won't go crazy with the cookies because that would make me sick, but if I eat one it's not the end of the world. The Rennies like to exercise so we will probably go to the park and walk around.
That's all for today!

It's hard to bake and not eat any cookies or eat any of the dough. It's probably better not to bake if you are trying to avoid flour completely. If you want to see what not eating wheat will do for you, you probably can't eat any of it at all. With all the pain you went through to stop eating it, I hope you don't get pain again if you eat cookies this weekend. Have a great time with Derek's family!!
ReplyDeleteThat makes sense! I did eat a cookie or two but all the other meals I prepared this weekend were 100% gluten free. The Rennies left yesterday night and took all the rest of the cookies with them, so there is no more temptation. I see what you mean in terms of needing to be totally gluten free to see the effects. Happily I am in no discomfort today... I even did some walking/jogging on a hiking trail with Derek and his siblings. Will blog more today!
ReplyDeleteheck no. I put the dogs away so my guests don't get bitten. That is the extent of my hospitality. Keeps the number of guests to a min
